Official Title: Effect of Adding a Low-Dose Epinephrine Bolus Prior to Infusion on Maternal Hemodynamic Stability During Cesarean Section Under Spinal Anesthesia: A Randomized Clinical Trial
Brief Summary:
In North America, norepinephrine, ephedrine, and epinephrine have been recommended as first-choice vasopressors for the treatment of spinal hypotension during cesarean delivery. However, in international consensus guidelines, epinephrine was recommended for circulatory collapse only. Phenylephrine infusion is an important therapeutic strategy for preventing spinal-induced hypotension (SIH) in cesarean delivery, as it decreases the incidence of hypotension, nausea, and vomiting. However, high doses may reduce…
